The most-played Nowruz songs
As of October 11, 2026 the leaders are “Shabe Eid” by Hayedeh, “Norooz” by Homayoun Shajarian & Sohrab Pournazeri and “Eyde Emsal” by Amir Tataloo & Amir D-va, out of 43 songs, ranked by all-time RadioJavan and Spotify plays combined.
Eid or Nowruz?
More of these titles say Eid than Nowruz. In everyday Persian the holiday is usually just called Eid, and the songs use the same word: “Shabe Eid” is what people call the days leading up to it, and Eidi is the gift that comes with it. The religious Eids usually carry their own name, such as Fitr or Ghadir, and a title naming one is left out.
Nowruz customs in the titles
The titles name the holiday’s own customs: the sabzeh sprouts, the haft-sin table, the turn of the year and Amoo Nowruz, the old man of Nowruz folklore. Many titles repeat. Several singers have a song called simply Nowruz, among them Homayoun Shajarian and Sohrab Pournazeri, Andy, Kourosh Yaghmaei and Leila Forouhar, and both Sattar and Shahin Najafi have one called “Amoo Norooz”. The singer beside each title tells them apart.
Not every Nowruz song is cheerful
The list goes by titles alone, so happy and sad songs sit side by side. Titles such as “Eyde Bi To” and “Ashkeh Norouz” speak of longing, and they are here under the same rule as the cheerful ones. For other happy Persian songs, whatever their titles say, see the happy songs chart.
Golden-age voices and recent releases
Golden-age singers such as Hayedeh and Mahasti sit on this list beside songs released for the last few Nowruz seasons, and it also holds classical tasnifs by Salar Aghili and songs by Amir Tataloo and Shahin Najafi. Because the order is all-time plays, a song released for a recent Nowruz has had a season or two to gather plays, while the classics have had decades.
How this list is built
A remix or a live recording gets its own row because it has its own play count. No song is added or moved by hand; the title rule decides which songs appear and total plays set the order.
Frequently asked questions
What is the most popular Persian Nowruz song?
By all-time plays, “Shabe Eid” by Hayedeh leads as of October 11, 2026, followed by “Norooz” by Homayoun Shajarian & Sohrab Pournazeri and “Eyde Emsal” by Amir Tataloo & Amir D-va. The order is set by total plays on RadioJavan and Spotify.
Which songs are on this list?
A song is listed when its own title names the Persian New Year in both its Persian and its Latin spelling: Nowruz, Eid (the everyday name for the holiday, also spelled Eyd), Eidi (the New Year gift), the haft-sin table, the turn of the year, the new year itself or Haji Firuz. Titles naming a religious Eid, such as Eid al-Fitr or Ghadir, or the January new year are left out, and so is any song with no Persian title on file.
Why are there sad songs on a New Year list?
Because a song is listed for what its title says, whatever its mood. Some of these titles are sad in themselves, such as “Eyde Bi To” (Eid without you) and “Ashkeh Norouz” (a Nowruz tear), and they qualify exactly as the cheerful ones do.
Why does this chart add RadioJavan and Spotify together?
Many of these songs have no Spotify play count on file, while nearly all of them have a RadioJavan one. The sum of the two is the total each song’s own page shows, which is why this chart is one list rather than a separate view for each platform.
